QCNS International

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

QCNS is an online hotel reservation company based in Switzerland.

Established in 1998 by Gil Guyomard, QCNS started as an online hotel booking provider through its site francehotelreservation. The business remains one of the last independent players in the ivy league. Today the company’s main website, Planigo, launched in 2004, is positioned as a leading player on the European market.

QCNS first signed partnerships with Hoteldiscounts.com, Hotelguide.com and Bedandbreakfast.com, and later on became the associate of many international hotel chains, some of the largest in the world, as Best Western, Accor, Envergure, Choice, Abote. Today QCNS is the initiator of an “affiliate program” designed for the independent hotels.

Initially focused on marketing hotel room nights, QCNS offers now the same services for its flights and travel packages. The company now has 170 employees and revenue of $30,000,000 USD.

Although a Swiss company, QCNS has expanded the business, opening new offices in other 7 European countries: France, United Kingdom, Monaco, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Romania. QCNS also owns two travel agencies (Aeromar Travel Agencies), one located in Monaco, and the second in France, Beausoleil.
